Strategies for Recognizing Legal and Practical Landmines at work from Social Media and Digital Data: Rights, Risks, Responsibilities for Public Entity HR and Leadership Teams in the Wired Workplace

Public sector employers are dealing with legal threats from a surprising source: their own employees' email, texts, blogs, websites and posts to social media. When your workers go online, they can create a disturbing array of legal risks for you based on what they post and write that may hurt your entity’s reputation in the community or in the courtroom.

This webcast will identify the primary legal threats to your entity posed by social media on your own networks and externally. Among other topics, we will explore legal landmines in online searches about job candidates and employees, the risks from errant posts that result in legal claims, and serious security threats to your sensitive data from within and without your organization. We will provide risk analysis checklists, sample policy particulars, and proactive principles to minimize risk and maximize productivity.
